CeBit this year, like every year, is spilling over with new gear announcements. And amongst those announcements is an announcement from Netgear that has caught my attention. This is about their new Wireless HD Home Theatre Kit.

RFaxis is a fabless semiconductor company that designs chips mostly for wireless applications. They have innovative and useful solutions for wireless and connectivity markets that serve a lot of common applications that we see in today’s technology and that includes WHDI. And they have announced recently that one of Cisco’s top personnel, Malachy Moynihan, will be joining the RFaxis board of advisors.

This is is yet another content streaming system for viewing your content on an HDTV. It is called the Netgear Push2Tv and it has recently appeared bundled with a new Toshiba laptop — the Satellite E205-S1904. Push2TV is essentially a simple way to wirelessly stream content to your HDTV from your computer.

One of them is WirelessHD and a company called SiBEAM recently got a funding of $36.5 million to market WirelessHD chipsets.

These TVs made quite a buzz at CES this year and they are full of technologies that will make your TV viewing experience like nothing before.
